The Dangers of Protein Powders

> They may contain ... toxic chemicals

The fact that some of them don't have this problem means that the problem is a consumer protections failure, not a categorical product hazard. So you'll have to pardon me if I consider that strictly a danger of inadequate safety regulations and not a danger of protein powders. How known hazard testing of random samples of all foods sold to the public isn't mandatory at regular intervals is beyond me.

> It may cause digestive distress. "People with dairy allergies or trouble digesting lactose [milk sugar] can experience gastrointestinal discomfort if they use a milk-based protein powder,"

What alternative do they suggest?

- 6 ounces of plain Greek yogurt

- a cup of milk

I know there are lactose free version of those, but there are also lactose free versions of the proteins...
